Public Bidding Opens for Pioneer DJ Art Mix Project
LONG BEACH, Calif. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. Professional Sound and Visual Division
today announced the start of the Pioneer
DJ Art Mix auction, hosted by online auction specialist charitybuzz.
Beginning today through Tuesday, August 23, art and music fans alike
will have the opportunity to bid on one of 12 unique art pieces created
by the world's most celebrated DJs, urban artists and designers using
Pioneer's renowned industry standard CDJ-2000 digital
music player. Through the auction of these one-of-a-kind pieces, 100
percent of the proceeds will be donated to the VH1
Save The Music Foundation to restore music education programs in
local schools.
The Pioneer DJ Art Mix players were created by a hand-selected group of
influential artists, designers and DJs within the arts and entertainment
industries. The individual pieces reflect the life, work and experiences
of each artist, including Steve Aoki, Tommy Lee and DJ Aero, BT, The
Crystal Method, Jesse Graves, Joe Hahn of Linkin Park, Bob Haro, Man
One, Ritzy Periwinkle, Rostarr, George Thompson and Victor "Marka 27"
Quinonez. Embodying the graffiti-inspired, color-infused elements of
street art, the participating artists incorporated everything from LEGO
pieces and balsa wood to recycled instrument parts and chrome-dipped
materials into their final pieces. Unique in design and reflective of
the artists' personalities, each Art Mix CDJ-2000 player is perfect for
art enthusiasts looking for a conversation starter or for fans seeking a
truly one-of-a-kind collector's item from their favorite artist.
All of the artists preserved the essence of the CDJ-2000, with several
pieces still retaining their original functionality. Each art piece is
signed by the artist.
"Pioneer DJ created the Art Mix project as a way to celebrate the music
and art communities by bringing together talented individuals in their
industries and giving them a new platform to showcase their creativity
and style, with the ultimate goal of raising funds to help keep music
and art education programs in our nation's public schools," said David
Arevalo, senior marketing manager, Professional Sound and Visual
Division for Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. "Through Art Mix we have
worked to increase awareness for the art of DJing and urban art and we
are very excited to have the auction sale of each piece benefit a worthy
cause like the VH1 Save the Music Foundation."
